Episode 294: The essential role of muscle mass for women's health
In this episode, I explore the critical importance of muscle mass for women. I discuss the optimal muscle mass needed, how to achieve and maintain it, and why it's essential for our health, including physiological, hormonal, metabolic, and mental. Highlighting recent research in women's health and fitness, I challenge traditional approaches focused on weight loss and reduced activity. Instead, I emphasise the 'more' approach—advocating for more muscle, more energy, more food, and more optimal training. I delve into the science of muscle growth, training strategies, the influence of age and hormones, and the importance of a well-rounded muscle-centric lifestyle.
